3. Whisk the egg, milk and melted butter together in a jug.
4. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients, add the chocolate chunks, and stir very gently until just combined. Be careful not to overmix as this can cause the muffins to turn out dense and heavy.
5. Distribute the mixture evenly into the cases and bake for around 20 minutes until well risen and firm to the touch.
6. Allow muffins to cool in the tray for 20 minutes before transferring, in their paper cases, to a wire rack to cool fully.

Note: This recipe should be enough to make 12 muffins.
